Ahh interesting, how does that work? Do you connect to the iPhones server
and upload files through some interface?

This article provides more info on the different iOS app directories
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html

One thing we had to be careful of was that downloadable data could be wiped
by the OS to make space, and had to be something that could be recreated
again at a later stage.

Cheers,
Joe
